Opaque orange-yellow in color with floral aromas of lime zest, grapefruit peel, pine sap, and candied orange. Juicy, hop-driven flavors of bright citrus, melon, and herbal pine are balanced with medium bitterness, fluffy mouthfeel, and dry finish.

Thanks, floozy flooz. Can. The beer is a touch darker than other Trillium hoppy stuff that I’ve had recently. It’s quite hazy. Medium-ish head, white in color. The aroma is a mix of tropical and spicy dank hop flavors. Big orange juice flavor underneath it. Pineapple, tangerine, onion, pine, oregano. Interesting mix of flavors but it’s a bit deep and dank for my taste. The taste is moderately bitter, picking up some pine resin in the finish. Good bit of hop flavor comes though. Medium body, fairly soft in feel. I definitely prefer Congress Street, but I think this will come down to personal preference in hop character.

Bottle courtesy of rlgk. Pours very hazy, almost milky, deep yellow with a creamy white head that leaves lots of sticky lacing on the glass while dissipating. Smell is fruity and grassy with crackers, grapefruit juice, nectarines, tangerines, peaches, raspberries, freshly cut grass, pine needles, minerals and lemon zest. Taste is bitter, fruity and grassy. Mouthfeel is soft, slightly dry, tiny astringent and medium bodied. Finish is bitter with subtle fruits, raspberries and peppery grass. Good hoppy beer but I’m not sure I love the raspberry character. --- Beer merged from original tick of Sleeper Street on 04 Apr 2016 at 22:01 - Score: 7.

Draft at Lulu’s, Allston, MA. Hazy grapefruit juice color. Pretty much like every pale ale or IPA from this brewer. Aroma has citrus upfront with grass and a mild, mellow pine.

The flavor has a nice juicy citrus element before giving way to a mild pale grain/ sweet bread backbone. I love how this brewer gets the juicy citrus texture in their IPA’s. Certainly a nice mouthfeel. In the finish the fruit gives away to a mildly lingering pine. Bitterness is on the lower end and only adds to the drinkability.

750ml bottle pours a hazy yellow gold with some lacing white head. Nose has lemon, lime, mild soap and pine, fairly simple grain bill reflected with just a little bit of grist. Flavor is lemony, lime too, straw, cracker, soap, light pine. Dry finish. I would like this to be a bit zippier, but it’s a fairly easy drinker. Maybe too easy for 7.2%.

Bottle from Clark. Thanks dude! It pours a nice lightly hazed orange color with an off white head. The aroma up front has some earthy, green onion and grassy hops backed by a wallop of tangerine, melon, peach and mango. Light honey notes. The flavor is the same. Great balance of earthy, grassy hops and peach, tangerine and mango. The body is light but somewhat creamy with prickly carbonation near the finish. The bitterness is medium and grassy. Malt flavors are bready with hints of honey. Really enjoyable. A top notch IPA.

Bottle shared by kermis @ Night before crazy Danish ticking spree whilst planning to give Dean a wedgie - tasting. Hazy yellow color, medium to full sized a bit soapy white to off-white head that diminishes fairly quickly. Aroma is lightly malts, nicely hoppy and wet grass. Taste lightly malts, hops, fruit hops, orange and orangepeel in an incredibly balanced way with a great perfect bitterness to it. Really well balanced and much better in the taste than in the aroma I’d say. Medium body and carbonation. Fine IPA.
